Vegetables Italiano (from a Contadina can of stewed tomatoes)

2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 cup julienne-cut carrots steamed
3/4 cup halved and sliced onion
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 3/4 cups (14.5 ounce can) Italian style stewed tomatoes and juice
3 cups sliced zucchini
1 cup button mushrooms, halved
1/4 tsp salt or to taste
1/8 tsp ground black pepper

In a large skillet, heat oil, saute carrots, onion and garlic for 2 -3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in tomatoes and juice, zucchini, mushrooms, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 - 6 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender.

When we make this, we like to serve it over cooked rice or potatoes. I generally substitute regular mushrooms, sliced, s I always have them on hand.
